I was not sure where else I could post this, but this is for any electricians out there, or people who may know about these kind of things.

I moved into a new apartment recently and none of the outlets are 3-prong. Someone had mentioned to me that this was against code or something to that effect. When I asked the maintenance people to replace the outlets, they just gave me adaptors.
Aside from this being a liability to my equipment, is there any way to get the maintenance people to change them to 3-prong outlets properly?How big of a project is it to change them to 3-prong?

Thanks
